Acording to our motto: “Be a voice - not an echo”, with the “Gorgonized” series we have created unique guitars of art that astonish no less with their exceptional optics than with their full and balanced sound. The tops of these unique guitars are not any type of airbrush, photo finish, ceramic, artificial stone, plastic or any other coating. We are talking about 5 millimeter thick tops made of real natural stone, inlaid into the body. Of course, the question of the weight of the guitar immediately arises when you think of a stone top. But here we can calm you - with weights ​​of around 3.6 kilograms, a Gorgonized Guitar weighs no more than most ordinary solid body guitars. This is partly due to the fact that we use a particularly light type of mahogany (Guarea Cedrata) for the body, and have also aplied sound chambers. In terms of sound, the Gorgonized models have a lot to offer. Equipped with a coil split function for both humbuckers, these instruments are extremely versatile, and they do not sound cold or soulless but - depending on the pickup configuration - fat and warm in humbucker-mode, or crisp and smoky in single-coil-mode. Due to its physical characteristics, the stone top provides an extra portion of even and long sustain.
Countless stone types with all colors and structures are possible as tops for the Gorgonized models. The variety is almost limitless, and every Gorgonized guitar is absolutely unique and second to none. We visit trade fairs, dealers and quarries to find particularly beautiful pieces from all over the world.

I am thrilled to introduce my latest masterpiece to you all - the "Gorgonized" Morpheus Model. These exceptional guitars feature 5 millimeter thick tops made from genuine natural stone, which not only gives them an impressive appearance but also a unique tonal character. Currently, I am enthusiastically working on completing ten Morpheus models with tops crafted from the fascinating banded calcite, also known by the trade name "Onyx Fantastico Red Light." Each of these guitars is a true work of art for me, embodying the fusion of craftsmanship and nature. Furthermore, I am currently crafting four Chronos models, which are also equipped with these captivating stone tops. These guitars represent elegance and innovation for me, redefining the boundaries of what's possible.
Gorgonized Morpheus #OF001 "George" A Masterpiece of Sound and Stone For the first time in over a year, I am proud to introduce a new Gorgonized guitar model: the Morpheus #OF001 "George". This guitar is not just an instrument; it’s a tribute, a labor of love, and a testament to the journey of innovation and craftsmanship. Unlike previous Gorgonized models, which featured bolt-on necks, the new Morpheus line comes with a set-neck construction, offering even greater resonance, sustain, and playing comfort. A Stunning Stone Top – More Than Just Aesthetics You hear right - this is no thin veneer, no airbrush, no photo- finish, no plastic, no fake-stone, no artificial stone, no reconstituted stone or any kind of coating! The Morpheus #OF001 "George" features a breathtaking, 5mm-thick top made from real semi-precious stone – a beautifully banded calcite known as Onyx Fantastico Red Light. (For the professional geologists among you: Yes, I know that calcite is not onyx. There’s even a doubly misleading name for this mineral: 'onyx marble.' But banded calcite occurs in such a wide variety of patterns that adding the trade name helps to better define this particularly beautiful variant. Please forgive me for the simplification :)) Unlike traditional guitars, where aesthetics are often achieved with printed veneers or synthetic materials, the Morpheus #OF001 "George" carries a piece of Earth's natural history in its very body. This stone, formed over millions of years, makes each guitar truly unique – no two tops are ever identical. Inlaid into a lightweight basswood body, this stunning top is finished with a vibrant orange-burst and elegantly framed by a chrome hologram pinstripe. To showcase the raw, natural beauty of the stone, I’ve left a small, untreated section at the rear, allowing you to see its unaltered form in all its glory. Beyond its mesmerizing look, the solid stone top plays a crucial role in the guitar's resonance and sustain, adding a depth and clarity to the tone that simply cannot be replicated by wood alone. The result? A bold, articulate sound with rich harmonics and an extended frequency range that will inspire every note you play.
